Advanced tools
A small weather app using data from the National Weather Service (NWS)
Using Vue for data binding this app provides both current data, forecast predictions, and weather map for a ZIP code in the United States. The data is obtained from the National Weather Service (NWS) which is supported through federal taxes dollars. This library is markup agnostic and simply provides an object you can inject into your design.
Use the NPM package manager to install forecast-js. For ----
npm install --save @warnick/forecast-js

To trigger the fetching of data you will need to use the input for ZIP code.
<input placeholder="Enter Your ZIP Code" v-on:input="zip_trigger" name="name" id="zip" />
There are six main categories of information: location, time, alerts, current, hourly, and forecast. Within each of these there are a myriad of pieces of data you can implement into your application.
This is based on the Zip Code entered in the input or retrieved from a browser cookie. This object contains:
